♪ and welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world, i'm kim brunhuber, ahead on cnn newsroom, the u.s. justice department is taking steps to prevent donald trump from releasing sensitive evidence in the classified documents case. we'll look at the new rules. plus, extreme temperatures lead to heat alerts for more than 45 million people across the deep south. just after a violent and deadly tornado, basically erased one texas town. and later, your grandparents may have more followers than you on tiktok. how seniors are making big money on the app. >> announcer: live in cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. the federal criminal case against donald trump is heading into the discovery phase, that's when government prosecutors have to give trump's lawyers all of the evidence they have against the former president regarding the top secret materials seized from his home last year, and

special counsel jack smith, who's charged trump under the espionage act wants to make sure the evidence he turns over won't be leaked. in filing for a protective order on friday prosecutors explained that, quote, the discovery materials include sensitive and confidential information, the materials also include information pertaining to ongoing investigations, the disclosure of which could compromise those investigations and identify uncharged individuals. now, filing for a protective order is standard, core procedure, and trump's team has already agreed to the terms, which are quite strict. cnn's paula reid is in washington with those details. the special counsel's office is asking the judge overseeing the trump's document case to sign off on a set of rules for protecting sensitive information in this case. now, according to this request, both sides, both prosecutors and defense attorneys, have agreed to these rules about how to handle the sensitive evidence that will soon be shared with

defense attorneys, they're not talking about classified information here, we're talking about the other sensitive information that is part of this case. now, among the rules that prosecutors are seeking here have to do with the defendants, former president trump, and his aide walt nauta. they are insisting the two defendants not be able to view any of the evidence that is shared with attorneys without their attorneys present. they also request they not be given copies of it or be able to take notes and then take those notes. the notes need to be protected and kept safe by the attorneys. now, prosecutors say in this request that they worry that sharing this information with the public, or others, could compromise other ongoing investigations, witnesses, or other people who haven't been charged. we know the special counsel is, of course, looking at the events in and around january 6th, and efforts to undermine the 2020 election. we know that many of the witnesses in the trump documents case are also interviewed in the january 6th investigation.

now, when it comes to classified information, they're not quite there yet because the trump attorneys need clearances before they can handle any of those sensitive secrets that are at the heart of this case. the former president is accused of taking over 30 documents. now, earlier this week, the judge overseeing this case, aileen cannon, she told the lawyers to begin that process, to get their clearances, she wants an update next week. the lawyers, todd blanche, and chris kise have said they're already in touch with the justice department to get that process started so they can eventually be able to view classified evidence as well. paula reid, cnn, washington. the u.s. secretary of state took off from washington, to take a trip to china. antony blinken said he will hold talks on a range of issues, including the safety of three americans who washington says have been wrongfully detained in china.

clean is good, sanitized is better. ♪ ♪ and welcome back, a developing story out of uganda where police say isis-linked rebels attacked a secondary school, killing at least 26 students and adopting six others before setting the school on fire. the number of deaths is expected to rise as authorities believe there may be more victims inside the burned building. we're following developments. what's the latest on the story? >> reporter: it's a horrific story, indeed, kim, what we know is at about 11:30, midnight, friday night about 20 to 25 rebels attacked this school. this is a border town, just the school itself two kilometers away from the border where the

democratic republic of congo. the military and police are blaming atf, an armed group that came out of uganda that's pledged allegiance to the islamic state. the deadliest attack in recent years, it's carried out suicide attacks in the capital, notably in 2021 where three people were killed and more than 20 were wounded. in the same year the president of the drc agreed to launch joint military operations in the eastern drc to stamp out the adf, and recently the president said they would be defeated, that the military has been successful, but so far that does not appear to be the case, especially in this brazen attack across the border. the ugandan military says it's

in hot pursuit of the attackers who carried out this horrific attack at the school. at least six students were abducted, and 26 people died. six students abducted. a of they had finished this deadly operation they set the school on fire, the police say they raided the school store so it's not just the attack, the killings, the destruction, but also even attacking the source of food for this school as a private secondary school and a lot of people are shocked today. there are videos circulating on the social media showing the bodies of the dead lying in blood. we're not showing the pictures here at cnn because they're too graphic but it speaks to the scale of the destruction. >> really disturbing. thank you so much. ukraine says its forces sometimes have to fight for

every yard as they make slow headway in their offensive. officials say ukrainian troops continue their advance around bakhmut without giving details. in the south they say russian troops have been pushed back up to one kilometer but the ukrainian offensive has been slowed by air strikes, artillery in the his of defensive fortifications. moscow denies ukraine has made any progress at all. russia conducted a massive strike on kyiv, just as a group of african leaders was visiting on friday. six people were wounded, and three homes were destroyed according to a preliminary ukrainian report, 12 missiles shot down during the attack, and president vladimir putin is confirming that russia has deployed some of its tactical nuclear weapons to belarus. he also said the reason russia has nuclear russians is to guarantee the security of the state. here he is. >> the use of nuclear weapons undoubtedly is theoretically possible for russia.

for russia it is possible if there's a threat to a our territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty to the existence of the russian state. >> antony blinken says there's still no need to change the u.s. nuclear posture. in the coming hours putin will welcome a group of african leaders to st. petersburg, their goal, to pitch their peace plan for russia and ukraine. one day after doing the same with president zelenskyy. the african leaders are calling for negotiations between moscow and kyiv, while zelenskyy made it clear that's a non-starter for now. so, for more, nada bashir joins us from london, talk us through the message the african leaders are delivering and the reaction. >> reporter: the message from the delegation we heard from yesterday is clear, they are calling for deescalation on both sides of the conflict from both russia and ukraine. s that was certainly the message, including south african president cyril ramaphosa who

spoke inside kyiv as they gave that press conference calling for an end to the conflict, saying this could only be achieved through diplomatic means, namely through negotiation. this is a message we've heard in the past from other world leaders trying to mediate peace between russia and ukraine, calling for both sides to come to the negotiating table, cyril ramaphosa saying it is better for all if this war ends sooner rather than later. but as you mentioned there, we have heard repeatedly now from ukraine's president zelenskyy about his thoughts and the thoughts of the ukrainian government when it comes to the prospects of negotiations between russia and ukraine and the clear red lines that president zelenskyy has been clear for months on, this can't happen, at least not in the eyes of the ukrainian government, unless there is a full and complete withdrawal of russian troops from ukrainian territory. take a listen. >> today, as i said many times, making it very clear, that to allow any negotiations with russia now, while the occupier

is on our land, is to freeze the war. to freeze everything. pain, and suffering. >> reporter: now, there was also some skepticism has to be said from president zelenskyy yesterday when it came to that suggested road map for peace. he called on the african leaders in the part of this delegation to put forward a message to push president putin to release political prisoners captured by the russian armed forces, particularly in crimea, annexed back in 2014. they are set to meet with president putin later today, but of course the focus while primarily on trying to negotiate some sort of peace between russia and ukraine is also one of concern for the impact this conflict is having and will likely continue to have on the african continent. this is, of course, a region that has long held close ties to moscow, particularly dating back to the cold war. and of course there are real concerns around food security that will certainly, a key topic

of discussion yesterday between this delegation and president zelenskyy. of course, russia and ukraine have been part of the black sea grain initiative which is brokered by the u.n. and turkey in the summer of last year, the african continue tent to varying degrees heavily dependent on grain and fertilizer exports from both russia and ukraine. this is a real concern for the delegation leaders. they did speak about the real questions around food security, so that will certainly be on the agenda today. but of course it will be seen what the key focus will be in this discussion with president putin later today. >> thank you so much, nada bashir. sudanese rights organizations say atrocities are being committed. cnn has uncovered evidence the russian mercenary group wagner is complicit continuing to support the rsf, the rapid support forces throughout the months of fighting despite calls

by the u.s. and others for support to cease. now, in an exclusive cnn investigation we uncovered the russian supply lines prolonging the conflict between the rsf and sudan's armed forces. that has displaced around 2 million people since mid-april and pushed the country further into humanitarian crisis. the rsf denies links to wagner, and any involvement in mass rape, and was part of this investigation, cnn verified and corroborated incidents of rape perpetrated by the rsf, including one captured on video. we feel it is important in the face of the rsf's repeated denials to broadcast part of that video and we must warn you it is graphic and disturbing. cnn's chief international investigative correspondent brings us the story. >> reporter: the fighting on the streets of sudan is relentless. cease-fire after cease-fire has not helped.

forces previously accused of genocide returning to a well worn playbook, terrorize, expel, and ethnically cleanse. the paramilitary rapid support services rsf are currently engaged in a fight for dominance with sudan's army. years before that rivalry spilled blood in sudan's streets, they were implicated in atrocities, and now once again they're stalked by the specter of genocide. the damage wrought by these forces so extensive you can see it from satellite images. this is west darfur, hundreds killed, whole districts to the ground. this is an door, and this is

kadomi. on the ground it looks like this, a scene sadly familiar. 20 years ago the region descended into genocide. the same rsf leadership in place as their men killed, occupied, and raped. now, once again, women's bodies are part of the field of war. this video is too disturbing to broadcast in full, but it goes on to show a girl believed to be just 15 years old being raped. you see here a man in light colored fatigues matching those worn by the rsf. we've paused the video just before the camera pans to show another soldier wearing the same uniform forcing himself onto the prone girl. cnn verified and geolocated the area where this happened. we're not revealing the exact

location to protect our sources, and the young girl. this is not an isolated incident. we received and reviewed dozens of cases where women say they were raped by rsf soldiers. identifying them by their light colored fatigues and the insignia on their right shoulders. so, who is complicit in this pain? the rsf's key ally, the notorious russian mercenary group wagner has been sustaining their fight and providing the impetus to slaughter innocent people by supplying arms. we're going to show you how. this is an allusion 76 cargo plane, a previous cnn investigation exposed how to russian cargo plane was providing the rsf with deadly arms from a russian naval base in syria, by a wagner-controlled base in libya.

this person starts just days before the war begins in sudan. libya, syria, and back, and it picks up pace. what's interesting here is the new focus on the city where it goes next, bongi, the capital of the central african republic. after our exposure of the libya route, a route directly from the african republic became krcruci for the rsf. eyewitnesses and intelligence active in the region told cnn arms and supplies from this allusion transported over land using the truck captured here and others like it, first to a wagner base, and then into south rsf base. wagner putting their thumb on the scales here to secure access to sudan's resources through darfor, creating chaos and terror, helping tip the balance of power in their war in ukraine, whatever the cost.

this is cnn from south sudan. u.s. condemnation of the latest violence in sudan has been swift with the state department's african affairs bureau issuing this warning. quote, rape, murder, targeted ethnic-based killings, the destruction of whole villages, these are the horrors that the war in sudan has brought back to darfor, credible sources place blame at the feet of rsf and allied militias attacks and civilians by any party must end. three years after the police killing of george floyd, the u.s. justice department has released a scathing report on minneapolis police. we'll have details on the findings next. stay with us. same as yours. almost... just another word for not as good as mine. the queen sleep number c c2 smart bed is now only $899 save $20200. plus, free home delivery when you add any base shop now only at slsleep number.

watching us here in the united states, canada, and all around the world, i'm kim brunhuber, this is cnn newsroom. the u.s. justice department says systemic problems in the minneapolis police department made the murder of george floyd possible. on friday the justice department released a scathing report on the city's police. it details racial discrimination, excessive, and unlawful use of force, first amendment violations, a lack of accountability for officers among other issues. the report comes more than three years after a minneapolis police officer knelt on george floyd's neck and back for more than nine minutes while he was handcuffed and gasping for air. the u.s. attorney general paid tribute to george floyd. >> his death has had an irrevocable impact on the

minneapolis community, on our country, and on the world. george floyd should be alive today. >> floyd's murder in may of 2020 prompted global protests against police brutality. in pennsylvania robert bowers has been convicted of carrying out the deadliest attack ever on jewish people in the u.s. jurors must decide whether to sentence bowers to death or life in prison without parole. cnn's danny freeman reports. >> reporter: silence in the courtroom friday morning as judge robert colville read the verdicts, 63 federal charges, guilty on all counts, 22 of those charges punishable by death. the your agreed with federal prosecutors that the man who killed 11 jewish worshippers in october of 2018 targeted them specifically because they were

jewish. >> i am feeling a sense of relief after 4 1/2 years the world has heard again about the horrific acts on october 27, 2018, and the shooter is being held accountable for those awful acts. >> reporter: throughout more than two grueling weeks of testimony prosecutors showed how the defendant turned a sacred house of worship into a hunting ground. body camera video and 911 calls revealed chaos and terror. jurors -- she held a prayer shawl to her husband's bullet wounds. we're being attacked. i'm scared to death. she cried out, before shot and killed while hiding in a pew. the defense did not dispute their client killed the 11 worshippers, but the shooter's attorneys tried to argue they were impacted by conspiracy theoriries, not by a hatred of yous. >> this was an anti-semitic incident, period, end of the

statement. >> reporter: community leaders in pittsburgh say friday's result was a victory but the death penalty phase looms large. >> while we're pleased with the verdict, very pleased, we know that there is still more to come, this is only the first phase. >> it's difficult to say the emotions we feel right now. one of relief, obviously, that the jury returned a full verdict of guilty to all 63 counts. but there's also a degree of trepidation because this is just the first third of the trial, and in a sense it was the least complicated part. >> reporter: as we look ahead to the death penalty phase of this trial one of the things we'll be looking for is exactly what kind of defense will be mounted. in the guilt phase the prosecution called 60 witnesses to the stand while the defense team called no one. now the defense team will be fighting to spare his life. danny freeman, pittsburgh,

pennsylvania. a landmark climate trial is under way in montana, attorneys for a group of 16 young adults and children have finished the first week of arguments. they accuse the state of pursuing the use of fossil fuels at the expense of their health and future. the case could have a profound legal impact on other climate lawsuits brought by young people. bill weir reports. >> reporter: in big sky country it's a story fit for a big screen. >> you've got this guys, we love you. >> reporter: on one side 16 young people from ranchers, reservations and boom towns across montana, ranging in age from 5 to 22. on the other side, the republican-led state of montana, which lost the three-year fight to keep this case out of court, but is still determined to let fossil fuels to keep flowing despite the warnings from science that burning them will

only melt more glaciers, blacken more skies and ravage more rivers. >> you've seen there's a point to harm these plaintiffs, harm now, and accelerating harm in the future. >> and the whole plot pivots around the montana constitution, that promises the state shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment for present and future generations. >> they've filed seven different motions to try and have the case dismissed, and none of those motions have been successful. >> reporter: while the first week included scientists testifying to the data. >> fishing for bull trout and native cut throat throughout impacted by climate change. >> very definitely. >> the emotion has come from plaintiffs, laying out their stories of loss. >> you know, it's really scary, seeing what you care for disappear right in front of your eyes. >> how does it make you feel knowing the state is not considering climate impacts in

its permitting decisions? >> makes me feel like the state is prioritizing profits over people because they know that there is visible harm coming to the land and to the people, and they're still choosing to make money instead of care for montanans. >> while the state's attorneys briefly question the plaintiff's ability to connect her mental health to the climate, they've mainly saved cross-examination for the experts. >> if the judge ordered that we stopped using fossil fuels in montana would that get us to the point where these plaintiffs are being harmed in their opinion? >> we can't tell in advance because what has been shown in history over and over and over again is when a significant social movement is needed it often is started by one or two or three people. >> i know that climate change is a global issue, but montanans

take responsibility for our -- and you can't just do nothing about it. >> the judge doesn't have the power to shut down any extraction or usage of fossil fuels. but a judgment for the young plaintiffs could set a powerful precedent for our children's trust. >> i think we're really at a tipping point right now. >> reporter: the oregon nonprofit is helping kids in hawaii sue their state over tail pipe emissions and they've revived julianna v. united states the federal case that could end up before the supreme court. >> i just recently graduated high school but i think it's something everyone knows, we have three branches of government for a reason, the judicial branch is there to keep a check on the other two branches, and that's what we're doing here. >> reporter: claire vlasas grew up in boseman, like the other kids too young to vote she sees the court as the only place to have a voice. >> it's hard knowing the power

to make changes in the hands of other people, especially my government. and i hope that as a young person we might actually have a chance to make a difference, and for my life and for my kids' life, not all hope may be lost. >> the young plaintiffs wrapped their part of the case on friday, the state has all of next week to mount their defense. they told the judge they probably won't use it, they say the case is about toothless statutes, and that montana's emissions are just a drop in the bucket for global warming. daniel else burg, the whistle-blower who risked his life and career to leak the pentagon papers died at the age of 92. he shared the material with the "new york times" and the "washington post" in 1971 during the nixon administration, the government took the publications to court to stop the leak tu bu the supreme court found in favor of the newspapers in a landmark

one of the perks of being the british sovereign is celebrating your birthday twice a year, king charles' actual birthday is november 14th, but ever since 1748 the monarch's birthday is officially celebrated in the summer when the weather is usually best. king charles will be celebrating his birth day with a traditional parade known as trooping the

colour. he will join 1,500 parading soldiers and 300 horses. it's the first time since queen elizabeth ii in 1986, the first time king charles will enjoy an official birthday since ascending to the throne. and live to anna stewart outside buckingham palace. unlike the coronation, much better weather there, what can we expect to see in the coming hours? >> reporter: yeah, we can hope actually the rain won't ruin the parade as it slightly did for the coronation. which extraordinarily was only a few weeks ago, five weeks ago, i think, by my count. today will be similar in some respects, you will see lots of pomp and ceremony, lots of soldiers and of course it will be smaller, though, in terms of how many troupes there are, 1,500, and 300 horses, much smaller than the coronation. and also the procession route is a little shorter. what we'll see in about half an hour is his majesty the king leaving buckingham palace here in a procession down the mile

and through the parade where he will inspect the troops and you see the trooping of the color. this year it's the welsh guards. the colonel is prince william, the prince of wales, added specialty i guess we'll get to see him play a key role here and i'm joined by our wonderful guest, and what are you most excited about in terms of today? it's certainly got a different feel from the coronation. >> on the one hand it feels much more intimate. we might see king charles astride a horse. he won't be galloping around, very ceremonial and appropriately sober but there's a real sense of celebration, such a gorgeous day here in june. the coronation was very serious, very, very rich, there was a lot of medieval pageantry. this is more military focused, connecting king charles with the military history, he has a strong connection, and he's

nominal head. of course he's not ordering troops around but he's really got a personal connection to all of this. it's going to be a chance for him to celebrate his first official birthday, his personal birthday is in november, of course. >> which would be terrible weather for a parade. >> that was the thinking behind these november royal babies, it's very unfortunate for them but we all get a chance to party in the sunshine. >> it is about the official bond really between his majesty and the troops, and for king charles, i think this will be a particularly poignant ceremony in many ways because he has been trained by the raf, he served with the royal marines, he was colonel in chief of the parachute regiment at one stage and trained with them because he said he wanted to look the soldiers in their eyes. i feel like king charles, especially, this will be a big moment. >> i think that's absolutely right. he's had such an intense year and a half. if you see it from his point of view it's a chance for him to have regrouped since the

coronation, and to say this is what i'm interested in, this is actually a passion of mine, it's not a state event where you see royals standing there and going along with it. this is his chance to say, okay, we are beginning my reign, i am crowned, i have been involved with the military for all my life. i'm passionate about this, i have attended all of those trooping of the colors that my mother the queen did, and now here i am, front and center myself. >> and at one stage, actually, as colonel of the welsh guards, which is, of course, now what prince william, the role he will be performing, and actually we'll see a few members of the royal family on horse today, won't we? >> yes, we're going to see some on horse back, some in carriages, even the queen herself was astride for a good long way into her reign, and then later switched to a carriage, we're going to see the royal family in a much more intimate and close-up setting than we did before, precisely

because of that slightly shorter route that you mentioned and because they're going to come out onto the balcony and wave, and there's a fly-over with craft from 15 different locations, joining together and swooping overhead. it's going to be a real chance to see the royal family after all of the events around the funeral, all of the events around the coronation, it's going to be a reset. we should focus on who's here, rather than who isn't. >> well, now you've mentioned, who isn't here, because there are some notable absences. >> harry and meghan are not here today. there's been lots of gossip, which i don't think we should really favor too much about whether or not they're invited. the fact is they can't make it. >> given they're not working members of the royal family they weren't going to play an official role. >> that's fair enough. more than anything this is about saying to the pop lus, and all the billions of people watching all over the world, we're still here, we're still together, we can still bring it when we have to and we can the connect the

pomp and pageantry with us as people. >> what about prince andrew? he did play a role in terms of the coronation, he was visible, there, wearing ceremonial robes, do we expect to see prince andrew today? >> i personally do not. the coronation is a once in a generation event, the trooping of the color is annual, it is a formal celebration of the sovereign's official public birthday. i don't think anyone is marly looking out for him. more than anything we want to see king charles doing what we does death, and what he served in apprenticeship for all his life. >> a focus very much on that core part of the royal family and their deep connection with the military, particularly the household division, of course, and this is all going to be kicking off, kim, shortly, seeing this all kick off in about half an hour as the king's procession leaves and heads down the mile. we will walk you through everything that is happening. it's going to be quite a day. back to you.
